Routine pathology samples taken during our client’s appendectomy contained cancerous cells that went unidentified and unreported by the reviewing pathologist. Fourteen months later our client was diagnosed with metastatic cancer, which originated in the appendix. Kelly & Ignoffo attorneys, through nationally recognized experts, established that the failure to identify the cancer was a violation of the standard of care and resulted in the loss of potentially life-saving treatment options. Unfortunately, our client, a husband and father, passed away shortly after the suit was filed.
